SSHFS From Windows to Ubuntu

SSHFS is a file system that works over SSH, this allows for a secure connection to remote file systems and in my case will allow me to use the Windows based tools I’m familiar with against files on a remote Linux machine. I’m planning on getting to grips with Linux but it’s daft not to use the tools you know and this will likely prove very useful with the Raspberry Pi too.

The best method of using SSHFS with Windows I’ve found is outlined here, I’ve not tried with anything but a password yet but I’ve now mounted the disk of a user I have in a virtual Ubuntu server I’m running on my laptop. Seems to work a treat though not tried it over the network yet, with an upcoming move from Home Server to Ubuntu at home soon that will be likely be heavily tested.
